Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined—be cautious not to overmix!
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.

- Remove from the skillet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar immediately for that irresistible sweetness.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat flour or use almond milk for a dairy-free version. Best served fresh with toppings like fruit, maple syrup, or whipped cream!
